I think the sound of several Fujitsu 5.25 full height, 1GB drives
would beat all of them.  I used to have one in a NextCube and called a
friend to reboot it where it was located.  He walked across the room
and rebooted the system, then walked back and picked up the phone.  I
could hear the drives spin up over the phone.
